La Bahia Hotel and Spa

6/10 Okay
"Check in was terrible. We didn’t get our room until 430 even though it was ready much earlier. They forgot to text us. The hot tub was out of service when we arrived and then the 5th floor with fire pits was sectioned off. Lovely property and location but not worth the cost. "
